Fab Freebie: City Love

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

This week’s TWO lucky winners are… Maria G (who loves Kansas City despite being under 12-15″ of snow at the moment) and Fiona (who loves her hometown of Washington DC so much she even loves the traffic). Congrats you two!

Today marks the seven year anniversary of our move to Richmond, VA. Woo hoo! It’s crazy to think that it has been that long, and to celebrate this week’s giveaway is from a city-minded artist: Kimberly of Albie Designs. We’ve had her charming illustration of New York City hanging in our hallway o’ frames for as long as there has been a frame collection there (my sister bought it for Sherry for her birthday a few years back). And now Kimberly has released a Richmond city print. So whether you want her new RVA work of art, or others from around the country (and even the globe) you’ll get your pick thanks to the $100 gift card that she’s offering up to two lucky winners.

    I LOVE ATLANTA!

    Although I hate a lot of things about Atlanta too, it still has a special place in my heart since I grew up right outside the city.

    I LOVE WATERLOO!! I’ve lived here for over 20 years and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, especially now that we have started a family (love my baby girl!)

    I LOVE CHICAGO!! It’s where I met my husband, where we had our first date, set up our first home and where we take our children to see all the great that is the city of Chicago.

    I LOVE CHICAGO!

    Aside from being a city full of wonder (and amazing food), it’s massively important to our family. My sister and her family will be moving there this summer, and for the first time in my life I won’t have her near. She is my oldest and dearest friend, and I would be lying if I said this move doesn’t come with a good deal of tears. At the same time, though, she and her family are embarking on a beautiful new adventure and we are all so thrilled for them. Having the Windy City framed in my home would be one more way to celebrate my sister and the bond we share. :)

    I LOVE PHILADELPHIA!
    I fell in love there and went to university there… there is nowhere that is more home and more beautiful than Philadelphia.

    I love Richmond! There is quite a lot to do here and there is also so much history. It is also nice that you are just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach, DC and the mountains!

    I LOVE AUSTIN!

    I went to university in Austin and loved the city and the people. I hope that I get the opportunity to live there again in the future, but will settle with visiting for now.

    I love NEW YORK! (I’m singing the song now, for those of you who have heard it :).
    I grew up just north of NY. Lived there after college. Now I live further away but the city has a special place in my heart.

    “I LOVE ATLANTA”. Since moving down south, I have gotten married, bought a house, adopted two dogs and started graduate school. Atlanta has been good to me.

    I LOVE MADISON, WI! Grew up here, went to college and met my husband here, it’s our city. Continuously voted as one of the best cities in the country, so unique and full of life, I love it!

    I love Seattle, Washington! I don’t live there, but I visit often. I love the vibe there… I love Pike Place, I love a Starbucks on every corner, I love the Puget Sound right next door, I love the twisty, turny streets, I love the green things growing everywhere, and most of all, I love the zoo.

    I LOVE DULUTH, MN!!! I love how the city is set on a hill overlooking the beautiful Lake Superior. There are so many places to hike and enjoy nature as well as iconic spots like the Aerial Lift Bridge over the canal.

    I LOVE SAINT LAZARE, Quebec
    It’s where my husband and I have been for the past 2 years and where we are hoping to start a family. Only 30 minutes from the action of Montreal, we are in the country with horse trails in our backyard and loads of space for our pup to play.

    I Love PARIS!! It is everything and way more than I thought it would be. The colors, the details, the food, the culture. It was the last trip my hubby and I took together before kids and I can’t wait to go back!

    I love BOSTON!
    We are renovating a home from 1890 in the city. And I am in love with the fact we live two blocks from the beach and can walk to the financial district. All you could ever want and need right at our finger tips! :-)

    I LOVE DALLAS, TX!!

    It’s where I met my husband and it was where I moved after graduating from college. I had lots of fun and made some awesome friends. I now live in Austin, TX but love to go back and visit Dallas every chance I get.

    I LOVE BOSTON!

    We moved there for five years between college and having kids. It’s kind of like our honorary home town, now.

    I love Roanoke! Moved here two years ago from Richmond. We love the downtown market, great restaurants, beautiful views, lack of traffic, and having the Appalachian Trail in our midst. But we also love that we have this great little city, but are still only a few hours from Richmond (which is my original home).

    I love NYC!

    I love the energy, all the different kinds of people, the food, the history, the buildings… I could go on forever. There’s always something to do there.

    I LOVE ST. LOUIS! I live here and it’s a great city – not too big, not too small, and very friendly. Plus, we have a lot of free tourist stuff!!
